Hopscotching...

Hi Everyone, I actually got to sew for a few hours this week. I have had a Jelly Roll of Hello Betty Retro for a while. I don't know what it is about this collection that caught my fancy but for some reason I love it. Teal, orange, super dark almost black brown... I am not normally a repro/retro girl unless it is modern design from the 50's or something... anyway I finally found the...

Oops a little too much down time.... Name game winner.

Hi Everyone, I am sorry I have been so quiet. I know when I receive two messages in one morning asking how I am, that I have been taking a little too much time off  :) I am fine, just recovering from having family here for three weeks straight and such a crazy busy shop for the last couple weeks... all good I assure you! So what did we name her? Meet: Hanauma Bay: You can find her in the...

Peak Hour is here!

ooops I forgot to mention... the cutest boy fabric ever is here in the shop: It is hard to pick a favorite print but the Newspaper Ads are right up there for su...

Playing with colors... a naming game.

Hi Everyone, When I was little I used to love to take all of my crayons out of the box and put them together in color order. I think I did it different every time. Light to dark or dark to light. Does that blue green go with the blues or the greens. Is magenta red or pink... on and on... so I guess that is why I like to take the fabrics off the shelves and do the same thing. Yesterday, I had a tiny...

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated...

Hi Everyone, Contrary to popular belief I did not actually die in an avalanche of Flea Market Fancy. I did not drown in a sea of seedpods although I did need a snorkel a few times. :) I cut more than 300 yds of fabric over the weekend though...eep. Thank you to Jennifer who called to ask if I was okay and offer her services :) Today is my mommy's birthday... Happy Birthday Mom! These are some...

DOWN WITH THE UPS

Hi Everyone, First of all if you didn't see this because I added it so late last night... FLOCK I love Thomas' designs :) Anyway, I don't really want Mr. UPS to go down. I don't wish that on anyone.

Friday Fun Day and Time For Another Giveaway or Two

Hi Everyone, First of all I have had a couple questions about Melissa's pattern and whether you are too late to buy it and have the proceeds go to charity. Not at all!  We are going to sell it and keep giving the proceeds to charity as long as you are still buying it. So if you haven't grabbed that cute thing up yet, here is the link. Here is what we are giving away today: To...
